KA Apple Cake

My children get giddy when I pull out the apple corer.
They fight over the peels,
silly kids.

We always have fun with it when we pull it out.
Our apples turn into springs, worms and slinkies.

Yesterday we made apple cake.
I used a recipe I found in my KAF cookbook. You can find the recipe here from King Arthur Flour.

I made a few adjustments. Why stick to the recipe right?

• I used half whole wheat flour. Next time I will use all whole wheat. It is a dense cake and I don't think all whole wheat will effect it. (remember I am grinding my ww flour, NOT buying it, HUGE difference!!)
• I used real butter instead of shortening.
  
• I didn't not add nuts.
• I used about 1/3 cup less sugar.
  
• I added maple syrup to my icing. Then read the reviews and noticed other did too. It must have been a good idea :)

Hope you enjoy it!
